I found most of the tools pretty self-explanatory however, most of the sliders are extremely powerful, so I rarely went above 30% for anything. I found the software almost eerily good at finding the face, and it only needed minor adjustments here and there. If the face outline doesn't perfectly match the face, you can manually move the anchor points around for a perfect fit. You can choose the gender of your subject and even add faces if your photograph has multiple people in it. As I said before, be sure to change your default from "Standard" to "Reset to Original." In the "before" tab, you can see the face(s) that Portrait Pro selected, as well as the specific mask it is using on the face. When you first open the plugin, you will be greeted with your image and a whole bunch of options on the right-hand side. As someone that is incredibly indecisive and will often do a lot of work, leave it for a while, and then come back with fresh eyes, being able to come back to where I left off is a godsend.
As a plugin, Portrait Pro can also be used as a smart filter, allowing you to mask it in or go back and make some changes after you've already done work. Portrait Pro 19 can be used in two major ways: as a standalone program or as a plugin for Photoshop. One thing I would suggest you do when you open up the program is to go to "Presets -> Manage" and set "Reset to original" as the default otherwise, you will open up the image and find it a little over-retouched and have to set it to reset every time you open the program/plugin.
Something else to keep in mind is that the default settings are far too strong, and in my opinion, less is more. As you can see, the image on the left, I only used Portrait Pro to retouch the shot, but the image on the right, I did a little bit extra: namely some frequency separation and some healing brush on her small blemishes.
